Hello Again, World

— Don Parakin — blogging

Hello again, World, are you still out there?

Well, this blog is certainly off to an unamazing start. My first blog post was six months ago. This, my second blog post, is six months later. So, zilch for six whole months!

I do have excuses. Good ones, too, I think.

What happened? Well, almost the day after I first posted I came down with a cold, flu, maybe even COVID (I didn’t get tested) that was nasty at first then lingered for an entire month. Once my energy levels were back I spent a month catching up on other things that needed doing. Then I came down with yet another cold, flu, maybe even COVID that again lingered for an entire month. And again needed a month of catch-up.

That explains 4 of the 6 months. I’m still working on the excuses for the last 2 months. I will present them to you, World, as soon as they’re ready.

I needed to decide to either kill off or resurrect this blog.

I decided to resurrect.

I have several drafts that are “almost complete” that I’ll post soon. Being “almost complete” means “not yet perfect” which is a demon I am fighting (a main reason why I’m writing this blog). Once it’s “good enough”, I need to post it asap and move on.

So, World, hello again: please stay tuned (really).
